Thorin's bedtime story

I slowly open my eyes and look around the room. The room with I recognised was my room, had cream coloured walls and beautiful Elven tapestries on the walls. The wall opposite my bed was made entirely out of glass and looked over a small garden with a fountain and was connected to a balcony. I was laid on my double bed that had pure silk silver bedsheets and had gold patterns embroidered into them and had pillows to match.

I carefully sat up in my bed but regretted the decision slightly when I felt a slight pain where my wound was. I looked towards the door when I heard it open and smiled when Lord Elrond walked in.

"Hello Araya, my dear how are you feeling?" He said with a smile creeping on to his face.

"Hello Elrond, I'm feeling much better." I replied smiling at him.

"You were bought here about an hour ago. I've healed your wound so you can get up if you'd like but it will probably still quite sore. Your friends have been fed, not that they really ate much of the Elven food. I assume they are eating meats of some sorts on the southern outlook near the bridge by the waterfall, you may go join them if you wish." Said Lord Elrond elegantly.

"Thank you, Elrond. It's good to see you." I replied.

"And you my dear. It's good to know you are safe." He says standing to leave.

I swing my legs around and go to stand, I shivered slightly as my feet came into contact with the cold stone floor. I noticed a pile of clean clothes were laid out on the chair near my bed. I chuckle to myself, there was a pale blue shirt with dark blue detailing on it and along with a pair of thick black breeches and a pair of my leather riding boots. Th maids finally learned that I don't wear dresses.

Once I was ready, I left my room and walked down the corridor. I walk over to the dwarves who are enjoying a meal while sitting around a fire created by the chairs. I look at them and roll my eyes.

"Elrond was kind enough to let you eat with him and this is how you repay him? Setting his chairs on fire?" I say putting my hand on my hip. They rejoice in my sudden appearance, all saying they are happy I'm safe. Thorin comes up to me and wraps his arm around my waist. I look at him and tilt my head slightly. Balin is behind him and he causes my eyes as he laughs loudly. The others are just as confused as I am. He then says "Finally" and Thorin starts to lean in. I don't pull away, instead, I just closed my eyes and suddenly I feel Thorin's lips against mine. Sparks fly, like literal sparks, happens when a Hera and her soulmate kiss for the first time. Scared the heck out of the others but Balin, Thorin, Gandalf and I knew what was going on. I reluctantly pull away from the kiss and look into Thorin's eyes. I notice a purple sparkle appear and quickly disappear. I feel the heat raising to my cheeks. The other cheers and congratulate the two of us finally getting together, Balin being the most excited. I sit down and snuggle into Thorin's chest. I was really happy.

We all sit there singing and dancing. For a second everything was perfect, no problems and no worries. Just laughter and happiness. Thorin stood up and everyone turned to look at him. Silence fell across the company.

"We need to leave as soon as possible. I can't stand being in this place any longer."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I look to him confused by his hurry.

"Elves, they are disgusting and selfish beings" He spat. I looked at him shocked, does he not remember I am part elf or is he just stupid.

"I'm part elf be careful what you say Thorin!" I say raising my voice. I never raise my voice at Thorin but he is being ridiculous.
